WASHINGTON—Whether or not LaRon Landry gets back on the field, the Redskins have a decision to make on him after the season.

Landry is an unrestricted free agent and, though talented, is coming off his second straight injury-filled season. He’s missed the past two games because of a sore groin and has dealt with an Achilles issue since midway through last season. It cost him the final seven games of 2010 as well as all of training camp this past summer and the first two games.

He still had speed, but he did not make as many big hits or big plays as he did in the first half of 2010 when he was mentioned as a potential Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

There’s an equal chance that Landry does not want to return. He was upset with the training staff this summer over treatment of an injured hamstring. A couple weeks ago, Landry was irked with the coaching staff for not letting him sit out practice during the week and then playing in a game—something he said he did three times last season.

The Redskins could always choose to franchise Landry. They do have rookie DeJon Gomes who has started two games at strong safety, but he’s 20 pounds lighter and, though fast, is not as talented.

But if Landry leaves and Gomes isn’t ready, that could leave them with yet another hole to fill.

NOTE: RT Jammal Brown, who hurt his groin in pre-game warm-ups, is uncertain for Sunday’s game at the New York Giants. If Brown can’t play, then Tyler Polumbus will take his place. Also, the Redskins likely will rotate their LTs again, as they did early in Sunday’s loss to New England.
